However, in the process of controlling desire and pleasure in this way, artists admitted the exotic fetish objects of 'primitive' cultures -- someone else's power and allure that surely would not overmaster the sophisticated modernist. A century of pornography, shock, and alienation followed, and this rejection of feminine and bourgeois values -- ...
